[Lady Cop]

Isn't it great to have connections???? I guess that was in the cards. If we only had a list of Thebes clients!!!lol

Tiff?

whole list of possibilities.

an email from a friend in court today:

Sam Williams trial has been pushed back until July 17^th. With the latest discovery of a witness who has came forward with information about the double murder....Judge has decided that there was no way that the trial could start on todays date. However, the issue at hand is the matter of possible conflict of interest for defendant Williams, due to the fact that the witness who has came fourth is a former client of Thebes. (Sam Williams head defense lawyer). Judge did not make a ruling today in the matter of Theibs remaining on defense team.

i believe that is same scheduled trial date as pettaway.

Yay! The trial dates are the day after my birthday.

I was really hoping the trial would start on time. I am on medical leave until Aug.6 and thought I'd be able to go to the whole trial---damn. I am really dissappointed. Didn't hear anything about the William's trial on the news this morning.

Now that it's July 17^th 'justme' you might make part of the trial, hope so!

amazing!!!!

[pfifltrigg]

OK. RE: Griffin The appeal of his sentencing is dated 11-2-11. Now, I'm going to attempt to copy the last document on this case dated 2-15-12. It is quite interesting (at least it is to me) ,but very VERY lenghty. Here it is! http://lcapps.co.lucas.oh.us/obpublicacc...07caade671

i couldn't get this to come up. could someone who has read it give write a little synopsis. i'm pretty curious. thanks.

pfifltrigg, would you let me and Older Than Dirt know if you got to read the link. Do you have an opinion? Thanks!

sorry, i haven't been on in a few days. so, no, i didn't get a chance to read it.

yet again Mr. Pettaway trys to get death penalty thrown out as it does not fit the crime of a ''developedmentally disabled person''

i wander if this means he was diagnosed with mental problems?????? anyone know

[Lady Cop]

Ok that was just filed. with a sealed report from some doctor who probably sold his opinion to the defense. it's a desperate measure to show retardation. the retarded cannot be executed. so it remains to be seen if judge buys the snake oil.

[Duchess]

In a bizarre sense I'm really lovin' that he could be known as the retarded defendant. He could have papers proving it. *snicker*

It's all nonsense that's what! the court is waiting to hear if this thug has mental problems. He may be a bit of a dunce so what! he was a dunce selling drugs for a lot of money to buy his pretty car, bike and blue shoes, yes dress up pretty for the women and have 5 children, if that dunce can do all that he's fit for trial I say IMO

Legally it has nothing to do with committing the crime, just that Pettaway is too retarded to deserve the death penalty. A mitigating circumstance. I guess he was special ed. And all this retard stuff has to start before 11 years old to matter, I think. I bet he has quite the juvenile record. Conduct disorder is hardly indicative of being retarded. But yeah, I get a kick out of the gung-ho try by the defense.

Jesus Christ! What a fucking tease. The docs still won't open. Surely your older than dirt brain can remember some of what it said! Anything? Just a crumb?

Is that true all over? I ask because Arkansas executed a retarded guy when Bill Clinton was crime boss of that state. He really was retarded, too. He got pie with his last meal and when they asked why he didn't eat it he said he was saving it for after the execution.

I've run into this before on the Court Dockets where files will not load, my guess is maintenance could be going on temporary and it could be back up and running by late to-night or to-morrow.

No need to be bored whilst
